OMG I dug Draped Bust silver!!!!!!!

[sscindercoop]

Hit A new spot today and was hoping to find some copper. My very first signal was a 1951 nickle and then about 10 minutes later I got a high tone on the E-trac bouncing all over giving coin numbers 1-46 12-48 and some other numbers in between so I figured a copper lawn sprinkler. I dig down and see a big silver!!!!! I was like cool Morgan Dollar. Then I picked it up and the dirt dropped off and I saw the most Beautiful coin Ive ever dug!!!!!! A Draped Bust Half Dollar!!! I was so happy I started to shake and all I could say is omg omg omg its a Draped Bust!!!! I got this one on video but Im not sure if I will post because I just lost control and made an Idiot out of myself. Thanks for looking HH

This has to be over a $2000 coin from what i see the well worn circulated ones going for. And scarce to boot. What a score ! Congratulations! You gotta love this site. I love seeing what amazing things T-NET members find.

Thanks, My coin is better then xf its probably closer to $5000 HH

I think it is more closer to 6,500.00 I believe you may have a small 3

edit: sorry I need to correct myself it is 5,500.00 it's only the large date sorry again

I would have soiled myself.
Congrats on a well deserved BANNER find.

A pic of the 45 is attached.
